Am I the only one that doesn't think God of War 3 (or even Ascension) looks as good as Killzone 3 or Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception?

GOW3 is a phenomenal looking game but have you seen the bland environment textures in GOW3? All the buildings don't have any detailed interiors for the most part. Uncharted games are so packed full of detail whether it be indoor or out door scenes

I wonder when a nuclear warhead goes off, does the frame rate of real life drop?

All I'm hearing is blah blah blah, we made the best graphical game ever. Is there equal gameplay to back it up? I thought Crysis 2 was great graphically but gameplay meh. Hope this changes with 3 but I doubt it.

I thought Crysis 2 was a decent game and every shooter fan should've played it. I thought it ran nicely on the consoles. I didn't notice any framerate drops beneath 25FPS or so. It was sub-HD IIRC, but it still looked nice. It's not the best looking title on the PS3, but it looks nice IMO. The mood, the setting, the effects... some parts even looked great IMO. I downloaded Crysis 1 from PSN and I had fun with it - just like with Crysis 2.

"Maxing out" can mean many things. Resistance 1 for example doesn't look good if you look at it now (it looks good enough, back then it had GREAT graphics IMO), but it "maxes out" the PS3 because the PS3 couldn't handle any more on screen. KZ2, KZ3, U2, U3, GOW3, GOW Asc and TLOU max it out too, the console couldn't handle any more, but these games use the power that's available much more efficiently - that's why they look and play much better.

Not that much Crysis 3 related:

But I have to say one thing: Some of the best looking titles on PS3 are third party titles. The Batman Arkham games come to mind. They are AMAZING. I'll say this: EVERYBODY who owns a PS3 must buy and play the Batman Arkham games. Everything's great about them - especially the graphics! Then look at Assassin's Creed. Even AC1 looks nice (although the framerate... but it's the same thing like Resistance 1 - you know, using power efficiently and all that stuff), but from AC2 to ACB to ACR and finally AC3, the graphics improved and look great. Not the best graphics overall, but the AC games have some very impressive stuff going on on-screen.

The best looking third party titles IMO are the Dead Space games. They look so good, they could be first party titles. DS3 looks fantastic (search on youtube for "dead space 3 volantis cliffs gameplay" by IGN I think), DS2 looks great too but of course not as advanced as the third title, but even Dead Space (the original)... I mean sincerely, look at this title! It's from 2008 I think and IMO rivals many games from 2011 and 2012 in terms of graphics!
Resident Evil 6 looks good too.
Oh, and Devil May Cry 4. And DMC (the reboot). Beautiful games.

But enough talk about other games. This thread's about Crysis 3.

I am excited for Crysis 3. I enjoyed Crysis 2, then downloaded Crysis (1) from PSN and enjoyed it too (but it started way too slow and the storytelling was bad - kinda like AC1 - more of a tech-demo with a story and stuff). Now I can't wait to see where they take the story. I mean we all know the setting and what happened after Crysis 2 from interviews (25 years have passed since C2, Cell has built these nano-domes to keep the Ceph inside, blabla) but what's really interesting is the suit and the protagonist Prophet. I mean in Crysis 1, you played as Nomad. In Crysis Warhead (PC only; some sort of expansion pack) you played Crysis 1's story from Psycho's point of view IIRC and Prophet was just the leader of your team.
Then, in Crysis 2, you played as a guy named "Alcatraz". Prophet gave you his Nanosuit 2.0 because he had to cut his body and mind off from the suit and because Alcatraz was the only living man he could find, and because Alcatraz would've died without the suit. Oh, and after he gave Alcatraz the suit, he shot himself in the head. The suit "grew" into Alcatraz' body and replaced or repaired parts of the body that were injured or destroyed when Alcatraz was shot by the Ceph at the beginning of the game. That's why he's called Alcatraz (like the prison). He's trapped inside the Nanosuit 2.0, which keeps him alive.
BUT: Prophet's consciousness copied itself into the Nanosuit 2.0's systems, so he's kind of an Artificial Intelligence inside the suit. But now comes the weird part: Prophet (the "AI") has now taken over Alcatraz body who is kept alive by Prophet's Nanosuit 2.0. Now that's some weird sh*t! But if Prophet's consciousness now controls the body and suit, where did Alcatraz' consciosness go? He MUST be somewhere inside the suit. I mean it's his body... But we'll see.

All I'm hearing is blah blah blah, we made the best graphical game ever. Is there equal gameplay to back it up? I thought Crysis 2 was great graphically but gameplay meh. Hope this changes with 3 but I doubt it.

My favorite part of Crysis 2 was a video someone put of, playing the last level of the game on the hardest difficulty, walking through the entire level relying on nothing but the health regeneration, getting to the end without firing a single bullet.
